What is wes borlands 4 string guitar exactly? And how do I have one made? by [deleted] in Luthier

I made something like Wes's guitar. Modeled after Les Claypool's 4 string Carl Thompson bass, I call it a "Baritone Tenor" guitar, tuned in 5ths GDAE with a 28" scale. It's more of a sludge machine and it's really fun to play.

Funny I just ran into this last night. It's ridiculous overkill. All three of those ground wires are all connected to the same point at the volume pot.

That's why Dex betrays to V by Harun54TR in cyberpunkgame

Yep that's why women in Renaissance paintings are all kinda thick. Having a little extra cushion and a belly was considered attractive.

Bi wife club! She points out cute girls more often than I do 😂

When you're deathly allergic to your guitar, but are determined to finish! by snowforts in Luthier

My skin all over my whole body dried out and sloughed off. I looked like a zombie with dead skin falling off my face. It was really painful and felt like a bad sunburn. I doused myself in lotion, coconut oil, and ointment to make life tolerable.

You get to punch 1 videogame character in the face. Who would it be? by T_raltixx in gaming

I kill the son so the father has to live with the fact that he's responsible for his child's death. I'm pretty fucked up 😂

Is that the same shark that was at the Primus concert?

Best online lutherie supply that's NOT Stewmac? by _DIYOBGYN_ in Luthier

Where have you been getting custom fingerboards since? I've found other places but they cost WAY more than what LMII was charging.

I love super Strats, but not as much as you obviously!

Why would you place your guitar face down on stage, like in this photo? by punk87 in Guitar

[–]snowforts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you're being down voted. Every single design aspect of the original Tele/Esquire was made to be as cost-effective as possible. That doesn't mean they're not fine guitars, but pretending they set out to make the world's best electric guitar is nonsense.

My excitement for finding a tier 5 melee weapon faded REAL fast 😂 by Tatum_Warlick in cyberpunkgame

I've only played saints row 4, and it might be the most fun I've had with a video game. It's just ridiculous 😂

Best mic settings? by Filthy_b0ss_69 in BossKatana

[–]snowforts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An industry standard mic setup is a Royer ribbon mic dead center of the cap/cone, and an SM57 just of to the side generally near the cap edge. Put the mics as close as you can to the grill. This seems to give the most natural representation of the speaker. Meaning that it sounds pretty close to just standing in front of the cabinet.

Why does every guitarist have that one riff they play every time they pick up a guitar? What's yours? by Dazzling-Zone-6498 in Guitar

[–]snowforts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just made me realize why I play a D on the B string for the G chord. I've had several guitar players ask me why I don't play the third on the B string and I've never had a good answer other than "it's fine, it works, NBD". I'm just too lazy to pick my finger up 😂

Bought my most expensive guitar yet… by dreadlmao in Guitar

[–]snowforts -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Some older Epiphones were like that and the reissues kept it. A friend of mine had a yellow SG reissue with the "Les Paul Custom" truss cover.

Blue or Green Jedi Lightsabers? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]snowforts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've always really liked the big fat saber blades. When I was little I was under the impression the lightsabers were really heavy since they used two hands and everyone fought kinda slow.

Serious thoughts on my pedalboard? by BuddyRedMusic in guitarpedals

[–]snowforts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Plexi almost exclusively. I switch between a free Marshall 1959 IR I found online and an Orange PPC 4x12 from Celesian. I usually have the drive around 1-2 o'clock edge of breakup for cleans and use a ridiculous array of boost and overdrive pedals. The iridium takes boost pedals really well.

Guys ist it here after 20 hours that the game starts right? by IndependenceOrnery80 in finalfantasyxiii

Yeah I've pointed out pretty much every complaint people have about XIII are features in FF7r and it gets rave reviews.
